Green Tips
  • Fix That Leak!
    Challenge:
    Leaky faucets that drip at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water each year.
    Solution:
    If you're unsure whether you have a leak, read your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.
    Challenge:
    A leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water every day.
    Solution:
    To tell if your toilet has a leak, place a drop of food coloring in the tank; if the color shows in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
  • Reduce/reuse/recycle Practice the three R's:
    First reduce how much you use, then reuse what you can, and then recycle the rest. Then, dispose of what's left in the most environmentally friendly way.
  • Make It a Full Load
    Challenge:
    The average washing machine uses about 41 gallons of water per load.
    Solution:
    High-efficiency washing machines use less than 28 gallons of water per load. To achieve even greater savings, wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate load size selection on the washing machine.
  • A Cup of Joe Goes a Long Way
    Did you know that the average American consumes about 3 cups of coffee a day? That’s a lot of used coffee grinds going into the trash. There are actually many ways you can recycle and reuse your old coffee grinds to help preserve the environment and maintain your health.
    You’d be surprised at just how many different methods have worked for people:
    • Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a Q-tip
    • Sprinkle around areas where pesky insects, slugs and snails dwell to drive them away
    • Mix with soil as a natural fertilizer for plants
    • Dye clothing or paper
    • Rub into your dog as an organic flea dip
    • Fill old nylons and hang in your closet or fridge to repel odors
    • Use to fill old pin cushions
    • Scrub away grease and grime from pots and pans
    • Throw on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to reduce dust from spreading
    • Feed to worms to help with your garden
    • Rub on your hands to eliminate odors
    • Mix ¼ grinds with one egg white and massage onto face like a mud pack
    If you’re not an avid coffee drinker but you live near a coffee shop or café, you can always ask them for the old grinds. Places like Starbucks actually give bags of used grinds away to people who use them for their home and gardens.
    Recycling is just one way that we can help maintain the natural beauty of our environment, so next time you drink a cup of coffee save those coffee grinds for future use.
